Line 129:
* [[Chewing the Scenery]]: How Robert Muldoon is introduced in the first film. '''''"SSSSHOOOOOOOOOOOOT HHHHHHEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!"'''''
* [[Closer Than They Appear]]: The [[Trope Codifier]] is the view of the charging ''T. Rex'' in the rear-view mirror, with the hilarious [[Lampshading]] caption "objects in mirror may be closer than they appear".
* [[The Comically Serious]]: Samuel L. Jackson made Ray Arnold nothing short of comedic.
* [[Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like]]: Levine does this in the second book, saying that (specifically) Thorne was driving too recklessly from the ''charging Tyrannosaur'', and (generally) that he was doing all right on the island and didn't need help anyway. Bear in mind this is ''after'' his panicked, static-filled phone call begging for help. His rescuers are not pleased.
* [[Composite Character]]: Two examples from ''The Lost World'' novel that were mixed into one for the movie: the [[Wise Beyond Their Years|precocious]] twelve year-old Kelly and black [[Child Prodigy]] Arby, Levine's pupils, were merged into the single character of Kelly, Malcolm's daughter. The rugged, badass Doc Thorne and his younger (but very capable) employee, Eddie Carr, were similarly combined into the movie's relatively mousy Eddie, while book!Eddie's physical appearance was transferred to new character Nick Van Owen. In the first, Gennaro was basically Ed Regis (a [[Jerkass]] publicist from the book), with book!Gennaro's name and law degree.
Line 197 ⟶ 198:
* [[For Science!]]: The motivation of InGen's geneticists, and Ian Malcolm's main beef with them.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: In the third film, when Mr. Kirby tells Grant that he can pay him any amount of money, the song in the background plays the line, "And I lie, lie, lie..."
** Robert Muldoon expresses concern that the velociraptors would escape, which they did eventually. Though Nedry decided not to tamper with it.
** Grant foreshadows how Muldoon will die…and that a kid should show them respect, which Muldoon does. And no, holding still doesn’t work as with the case of the T-Rex, as Grant explains. And yes, Muldoon was alive when the raptor ate him.
* [[Fossil Revival]]
* [[Freudian Trio]]: With Hammond as the Id, Malcolm as the Superego, and Grant as the Ego.
